Jin Yong's status in the literary world has always been a topic of divergent opinion.

Some praise it, some disparage, but one thing is recognized, and that is that his novels have few rivals in modern literature in terms of popularity.

There is a good saying that wherever there are Chinese, there must be Jin Yong's novels, which shows that he has many fans.

Jin Yong's influence is not only limited to the field of literature, with the help of a number of popular film and television dramas, Jin Yong has really entered thousands of households, many people have not read his books, but the characters in the book are all familiar.

All in all, at the end of the twentieth century, when Chinese literature was in its infancy, he was a living legend.

Such a legendary elder offered to help Li Yuan's novel write the preface, which can no longer be regarded as pie in the sky, it should be said that it is pie rain in the sky.

However, Li Yuan actually refused.

He actually refused!

Everyone present felt incredible, especially Wu Ciren, his whole face was green, if there was no one present, he would definitely point at Li Yuan's nose and scold.

You're crazy!

With Jin Yong's influence, let alone writing, even if he opens his mouth, Li Yuan will be inexhaustible, not to mention anything else, just talking about the sales of novels, I am afraid it will be calculated by ten times and a hundred times.

Fan Xinman also felt incredulous, but she was not a party after all, and she was a journalist, and while keeping her face unchanged, she asked half-jokingly and half-seriously: "I'm afraid it's not just this reason, right?"

This is the occupational disease of journalists, knowing that some words are not suitable for saying, but they still can't help but get to the bottom of it. Of course, Fan Xinman herself also has confidence, at least with her understanding of Jin Yong, she will never be angry about it.

After Fan Xinman asked, Feng Wan couldn't help but look at her deeply, this woman is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Everyone's eyes turned to Li Yuan, wanting to hear how he answered, if he answered well, it was a joke, and if he didn't answer well, it would be a joke.

Li Yuan said: "Master Jin's influence is naturally higher, but it is precisely because his influence is too high that I dare not accept his kindness. ”

Fan Xinman asked, "Are you worried about taking the lead?"

Li Yuan shook his head and smiled, but did not speak.

This question is too stupid to ask, Li Yuan really doesn't know how to answer.

Fan Xinman was only quick to talk for a while, and immediately realized that something was wrong.

Of course, this is the truth, but she understands it, but Jin Yong doesn't understand it? When she says this, it seems that Jin Yong is a little "unkind."

Fan Xinman's words offended not only Jin Yong, but also Shi Kaihe, who was not present.

Shi Kaihe's influence is certainly not as good as Jin Yong's, but he is a representative of serious literature, and there is no way to compare the two, just like you can't compare commercial films with literary films, both of which have different judging criteria.

Moreover, as a well-known writer and translator in China, Shi Kaihe's works have won many awards at home and abroad, and his status is even higher than Jin Yong's in the conservative mainstream literary circle.

After thinking about this, Fan Xinman's face was difficult to look at.

In the end, it was Jin Yong who came over for her.

Jin Yong said with a smile: "I have read Shi Kaihe's book, which attaches equal importance to poetry and reason, and I can't catch up with the depth of thought and literary value." ”

"You are too modest. Li Yuan said.

"It's not that it's not modest. Jin Yong waved his hand and said: "Although martial arts novels also have a little bit of literary meaning, they are basically entertaining reading, and it is best not to compare them with formal literary works." ”

"That's right. ”

Li Yuan nodded in agreement.

The rest of the people looked sideways, and said in their hearts that Jin Yong said that he was not modest, but in fact he was still modest, just listen to this kind of thing, can it be taken seriously?

Nodding your head, are you stupid?

Li Yuan just couldn't see their strange eyes, and then said: "As the first of the four famous novels, "Dream of Red Mansions" was not also an entertainment book at that time, and Master Jin's martial arts novels had the same effect. ”

Sycophants!

Everyone rolled their eyes in unison.

"It's not like I'm talking nonsense," Li Yuan said, "It's Cao Xueqin herself." ”

Shen Zhuyin didn't have any city mansion, and asked curiously, "Cao Xueqin said it herself?"

Li Yuan nodded and said: "Yes, he said at the beginning of the novel, 'Break the boredom of the moment', which means that it is for people to relieve boredom." ”

Speaking of this, Li Yuanzhengse said to Jin Yong: "Now the domestic book market is sluggish, and the youth market is even more bleak, I talked to Mr. Wu about this problem, hoping to break through the status quo in the form of bestsellers, and to break through the status quo, it is far from enough to rely on one or two authors and one or two books." As a work that throws bricks and stones, I hope it has a little less luck component, a little more controversy, and a little more deviant...... If we can get more people of my age to think, 'I can write too,' and 'I can write better than him,' then it will be considered a success...... In fact, I was hesitant to refuse Mr. Shi, after all, if one is not good, even he will be scolded......"

"I see. Fan Xinman suddenly realized, "Then you have to be prepared to be scolded." ”

"I've been prepared for a long time, and now it's up to Sanlian to give me a chance to be scolded. ”

Li Yuan looked at Li Xin, the editor-in-chief of Sanlian.

Li Xin smiled and said, "You have to read the work." ”

Li Xin doesn't believe in Jin Yong's vision, but he also has his own insistence as the editor-in-chief.

……

After the banquet, back to the hotel, Shen Zhuyin followed up Li Yuan's room without saying a word.

"Why don't you go back to your room, why are you following me?"

Li Yuan asked strangely.

Shen Zhuyin sat on his bed, raised his face and asked, "Say, how can you thank me?"

Li Yuan pretended to be stupid and said, "Thank you for what?"

I've helped you so much, you have to show something, right?"

Shen Zhuyin snapped his fingers and said, "It's playing the piano again, and it's giving you a compliment, so that others really think I'm a fool who doesn't understand anything!"

……

Yes, Shen Zhuyin's words and deeds at the banquet were all arranged by Li Yuan in advance.

Although Feng Wan intended to give Li Yuan a surprise, she didn't say it, it didn't mean that Wu Ciren didn't know the severity, he called Li Yuan in the afternoon to remind him who was present at night.

Wu Tsering reminded Li Yuan to be mentally prepared, and Li Yuan turned his preparations into practical actions.

In the afternoon, he and Shen Zhuyin went to the tea restaurant to step on the spot and made a "performance plan" in advance.

Yes, it is a performance from beginning to end, whether it is playing the piano or telling fortunes, everything is to impress Jin Yong enough in a limited time.

Li Yuan is very clear about the relationship between Jin Yong and Hong Kong Sanlian, after all, his works are published by Sanlian, and Jin Yong's attitude can greatly affect Sanlian's attitude.

Don't look at Li Xin, he can't let go, it's just a gesture.

All in all, the effect of the performance was gratifying, even far beyond Li Yuan's expectations.

Li Yuan didn't expect Jin Yong to even bring up the preface, you must know that he rarely gives people a preface.

In fact, at that moment, Li Yuan really thought about agreeing, but he finally refused.

Of course, the reason for refusal was not what he said, the real reason was that he didn't want to offend Shi Kaihe.

Although Shi Kaihe is not as famous as Jin Yongda, he is literary and excellent, and he has a wide network in academic circles and officialdom.

One is a celebrity from another country, and the other is a local magnate, so you don't need to think about which one to choose.

……

I still can't make the new land pure......

Li Yuan shook his head and looked at Shen Zhuyin, thinking that compared to this girl who was like water, he was really a piece of stinky mud.

"What are you looking at?"

Shen Zhuyin was a little embarrassed, pulled her skirt, and complained: "It's all you, if you let me dress like this, I'm embarrassed to be thrown home this time......"

"Who said that, how pretty. ”

Li Yuanxin said, it's a pity that it's not Hanfu, otherwise it would definitely blind their eyes......

"Really pretty?"

"Really. ”

"So what?"

Shen Zhuyin said, casually pulling out the hairpin, and his long black hair spread out like a wave. Shen Zhuyin shook her head, and her messy hair covered her face, revealing only a playful lip.

"It's beautiful, too. ”

Li Yuan looked at the cherry mouthful, and suddenly had a feeling of heartbeat.

"Who is more beautiful, me or Xu Xiaowen?"

Shen Zhuyin's voice called Li Yuan back from his stupor, and he was stunned for a moment, "Huh?"

"It's okay. ”

Shen Zhuyin pulled up her hair, tied it behind her head with a hair ring, got up and said, "I'm a little sleepy, I'm going to sleep......"

"Ah, well, get some rest early. ”

Li Yuanmuran sent Shen Zhuyin out of the door, returned to the bed, and suddenly let out a sigh.

"Alas......"

He is not a fool, he really doesn't know Shen Zhuyin's feelings for him.

That affection may just be the ignorant liking of the girl, maybe not enthusiastic enough, but it is more and more precious.

Unfortunately, Li Yuan didn't know how to respond.

"Wait and see......"

Li Yuan muttered to himself, lying on the bed with his arms on his pillow.

As soon as he lay down, there was another knock on the door.

Li Yuan jumped up, ran over to open the door, and found that it was Feng Wan standing outside the door.

"It's you. ”

"Isn't it who am I?" Feng Wan said with a smile.

“……”

Li Yuan, who knew that he was speechless, silently turned sideways and asked Feng Wan to enter the door.

Feng Wan entered the house, looked at Li Yuan carefully, and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, I didn't do anything bad." ”

"What can I do badly......"

"Don't think I don't know, I'm also from your age, okay......" Feng Wan glanced at him and said, "I can remind you that you are still young now, and you must not do anything that catches adults off guard......"

"What's the matter?"

“……”

Seeing Li Yuan pretending to be stupid, Feng Wan was immediately deflated and said, "In short, you have a good grasp of proportion, Zhuyin is stupid, you can't be stupid." ”

She stared at Li Yuan seriously and asked, "Say, where are you singing today?"

"You see that?"

"You're not really going to do anything, are you?"

“……”

“……”

The two stared wide-eyed, only to find out that they were not on the same channel at all.

In the end, in order to avoid misunderstanding, Li Yuan took the initiative to explain the acting between him and Shen Zhuyin.

"I'll just say, Zhuyin, this kid is usually quite atmospheric, why does he blush at every turn today. Feng Wan said with a smile: "She is not shy in her feelings, but she is weak-hearted." ”

"She's really shy, after all, that dress, ahem...... All in all, what is the true color of the performance, this is ......"
